- Headed up to Wonnangatta, for a Troopcarriers Of Australia gathering, a late change of mind left me traveling to Licola, to Arbuckle Junction ( didn't see Greg Lynn in my travels... but he was caught 2 days later ) then on to Howitts Hut and down Zeka Spur Track to Wonnangatta Station.
There were some 19 Troopys with many coming from a far to join in. most had been there since Thursday. A great night was had by all.

Love it. Oh the fun I had when younger, 4wding, having a traveller, or 6, camping, exploring, and just enjoying the silence. Lucky you. Way to go digger.😊
Thanks Mort… I’ll always have 1 or 2 as I get close to camp, especially after a big drive. Oh to be young again. 🤦🏽👍🏼
Hi Gav can't believe it was watching this as you said about the two people that were murdered and that day was the first day of the trial . I love that valley and yes I do know the history. I've read a book about the two guys and the theories behind what happened back in the early 1900s
I reckon it would be a good read. I should probably do a lot more reading on the topic, my knowledge is pretty limited on the old Wonnangatta murders.
Great videos 👍
Cheers Craig, and thanks for taking the time out to watch. 🍻
Great video and thanks for the journey. New subscriber :)
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the support. 👍🏼
G'day mate, this is crazy. The news was on and mum said I've had enough of it so I said all right. Let's watch our favourite. I turned on this episode and you explained how it was when the guy was caught for allegedly killing in the valley the same time the news dispersed the original jury for the case
Bahaha, what’s the chances. Be interesting to hear the outcome, I heard he pleaded not guilty. 🤷🏼
Did the crosscut saw circuit Walk 30 years ago on the fourth day came out to the zika track. Couldn't find the track back to our car and would you believe it? There was a guy coming along the track in a troopy picked us up and took us to our car
You can always rely on a guy in a troopy 👍🏼🤣
I don’t know how people can walk around for 4 days in the bush., I wish my body would let me but it can’t. So it’s the troopy for me. 👍🏼
Beautiful high country! Looking forward to episode 2. Thanks so much for sharing.
Cheers, it certainly is a beautiful bit of country.
Hey mate love the videos.
Where did you get your pillar gauge holder from?
Looks really tidy!
Hey Joel, sorry mate I can’t remember now it was a while ago. It looks good from far but far from good. Its a shocking fit, can’t put the pinch weld on it as it sticks out to far. Very disappointed in it, spoke to the suppliers and they said ot should for a troopy. Got sick of arguing about it. 🤦🏽
If you ever find a good one for a troopy send me the link !! 👍🏼
Just stumbled across your channel now mate. First video I have seen of yours and really enjoyed your laid back yet fairly informative approach to the content. I feel after watching that video it would give people a fairly good idea weather or not they could drive that section and it was easy to follow the tracks with the places your stopped and names you mentioned of each junction. Bloody great content mate.
Cheers mate… glad you enjoyed it. I like to keep it simple and I’m not into extreme 4wheeling, just like getting out there and seeing places.
Like wise mate I'm gonna post to UK they'll love it 2019 I did a 15000 KLM trip round Oz a busted arse Rodeo made it but! These poms 2 of em doing a roadtrip in the same ute.
Looked like a top weekend 👌.. enjoying the vids..
Cheers Nick
Yeah Nick, it was a great weekend with great good people… and got to drive some awesome tracks. Have to love the VHC. 👍🏼
Glad your enjoying the videos !
Prior to what happened with that unfortunate couple at Wonnangatta, I’d never heard of that place. I’m guessing now that we’re free again, that area will become infinitely more popular. I’d heard of Dargo & other popular towns around the great alpine area. I haven’t been touring for very long, mostly north eastern areas. New subscriber.
Cheers for the Sub mate. I reckon the high country will be more traveled now since this covid has happened… people staying closer to home, but don’t let that stop you from coming over this way. It’s an amazing place, plenty of options-places to go remote, or you can go to the places frequently visited by most people… either way, you will be exploring for years.
Hope to see you over here one day soon
Cheers
Great video. Now a subscriber. Awesome work

Cheers Mate, definitely a great place... ill be back up there again soon for sure !
I solo drive in a 09 hilux and thinking of doing zeka spur into Wonnangatta in a week or so. It’s always good to get an idea of the track recently. Have watched a few of your videos and enjoyed them. Just subscribed. Cheers!
Cheers for the Sub.
Solo is the best way to travel in my opinion, do it all in your own time.
It’s a good drive you will enjoy it. 👍🏻
Who else noticed the Parks Vic gate winched out of the ground?
Nice video mate, just found you, sub from me
More than likely that would’ve been VicPol investigators.
@@realaussiemale567 Why? They have a key
Well done mate new subscription 👍
Thanks mate… appreciate the Sub. 👍🏻
If you open your backdoors, i would get in and drive off, oh yes, I love these cars very much!!!!
Best I be locking it up then ! 👍🏻
Another great episode Gav 👍. Had a beer with Johnno yesterday 🍺 Cheers Sparra.
Cheers Sparra, he said you were at the Fishing Club, sorry I didn't drop in.
When you coming for a drive up in the hills ?
I go up there often, During the week most times,the joys of retirement
Great vids mate. Keeping it real with no bravado. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up. Just subbed.💪
PS - We were in the area same time as you it seems. Small world.
Cheers for the Sub, and the positive feedback… glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏼
I know cameras don't always catch trail steepness etc, but that all looked quite reasonable. Were there harder bits you didn't film? Trying to decide if I should have a cracke with my subaru forester..
Wasn’t as steep as I was expecting from what I’d been told, but my gopro did fall off on the steepest section…But in saying that the forester will most likely make it.
"Most likely" 😀 sounds like I should bring a cruiser "just in case" 😜
Hi mate. Can I ask what tap setup that is your running on your jerry cans on the rear bar? Looks interesting at the start of the video.
Hey Stackner, it’s basic, a couple of fittings from Bunnings, consisting of an elbow male to female with a tap and some clear hose.
Nothing special that’s for sure.
Thanks mate just asking as I recently changed the water jerry cans I use to ones that look similar to yours but the normal tabs don't seal too well on these ones
@@clintAdventures yeah ok. I used the elbow out of the Jerry can it’s self so I could put an inline tap in place, as the tyre is right there. The elbow isn’t overly tight, but it doesn’t leak. Let’s me move it around to suit.
Did Zeka about 30 years ago and then I did it a few months ago and I thought I remember it being a lot steeper, still a great track
Yeah, not what I was expecting, but the added a heap of switchbacks that cut out a lot of the steep section, you can see the old track in places. But it’s a good track to a awesome area!
Just a few switch backs, how many did you have to do multipoint turns?🤪
Just the one … looks like they have done some work to a few of them.
Great Footage Gav, if you keep this content up I can keep working all weekend and not miss a thing.
You need to get up into the High Country and see it first hand !!
Hey mate what tyres you running ?
Just an old set of Mickey Thompson ATZ 33inch, prob at 50% tread. I'm due for a new set, just trying to get through to winter and will grab some MT's. tossing up whether to go 35's? what's your thoughts on tyre brands? I'm thinking ill stick with the Mickeys, even though they will burn a hole in my wallet !!
@@aguyandhistroopy iv got bfgoodrichs km3 but like you due for new set but might all terrains next just working out which brand
@@rudvs the Mickey ATz are an aggressive All-Terrain. I’m just chasing a bit more clearance for the diff on the Troopy, as to why I want 35’s. I reckon I’ll keep the old 33’s as the highway driving tyres
You might want to delete this video - it's a $3300 fine for flying a drone in a national park. CASA don't muck around.
I realize this. But it’s ok to have firearms in at Wonnangatta and to be able to hunt but not fly a drone?
It’s definitely not the first drone to be flown in there and put onto a TH-cam video.
Well, CASA would have to also pick the 1000s that fly them along the Great Ocean Rd, 12 Aposotles, over Whales breaching etc etc....
It's a bit like the days on mp3 downloading, legal action was futile.
Funny how CFA and Parks Vic use drones....
Couldn't think of a safer place the middle of bum fark...
Then again, the world is full of Mrs Mangle type people
My thoughts totally. I will pick and choose where I fly the drone, obviously some locations I won’t fly it due to respect to the indigenous or environmentally sensitive areas.
